WELCOME TO A NOURISHED LIFE

I’m Eva, a cook, writer, and lifelong seeker of the good life, living along Portugal’s windswept coast. Here, I share mostly plant-based, often gluten-free recipes that nourish both body and spirit, along with reflections on healing, aging, and intentional living.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Homemade Vanilla Honey Yogurt

Yogurt..I wondered if I could make it without all of the gadgets, making it the old fashion way. Let's face it, back in 1500 BC they weren't making yogurt with electric yogurt makers. I remembered my mother making it back in the seventies and I recalled the taste...
